Billy Ward

Billy Ward was an LAPD vice detective. Ward began his career in the Vice Squad during the 1960s, and he routinely investigated Hollywood crimes; he became adult film legend John C. Holmes' handler while Holmes worked as an informant for the LAPD. In 1981, Ward interviewed Holmes about his role in the Wonderland murders, and he disagreed with Sam Nico and Louis Cruz's conclusions that Holmes was one of the murderers, as he was a personal friend of Holmes.
